I think we can all agree that 2020 was a bust. There were definitely hard times, whether you were one of the unfortunate ones who lost their jobs or had to continue working through the pandemic because you were a necessity.

I am currently researching for my upcoming historical fiction/ fairytale mashup of "Beauty and the Beast" with the French Revolution. Belle is the main character, of course, and yes, she loves to read anything she can get her hands on!

I'll also share some things I've read and things that are on my To-Read list as well.
